This week at the Search Engine Roundtable, we share the anger webmasters have about the new Google image search design. Some webmasters are upset with BingBot crawling too much and possibly even AdWords ads. Google has updated their spam algorithms for maps/business reviews. Google also updated the local business management page. Google's guidelines even confuse their own. Google has two bugs in Webmaster Tools, one with setting your message preference and the other with editing your URL parameters. Google is testing animated AdSense ads. Yahoo reported good earnings with both paid clicks and CPC prices up. I showed how Google+ blocks spam. Google had a special Doodle for Jackie Robinson, the first black Major League Baseball player but the search results for the Doodle were not great. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
